Here Be Pirate Music and Songs for ye Entertainment

The Brigands be a musical minded group, performing songs, Sea Shanties and tunes, lore and fact, from the Golden Age of Piracy, 1650-1750 and beyond.

Pirate music & Black powder cannons “Party like it’s 1724″

Music was critical to the sailing of wooden vessels. It kept the hands working and pulling in unison, through storm and wind and calm. The Brigands bring the music from the deck of HMS Hellion ashore for you to enjoy. A bit rowdy, a bit naughty, always fun and sure to get your blood pumping. Thrill to the calls for “All hands to make sail. Trice up and lay out! “. The Brigands have been called the ultimate pirate band, music that could have been heard in any dockside tavern, where sailors, pirates, buccaneers and privateers all came, to spend their hard earned ( or ill gotten) money, drinking and singing the songs of the era. The Brigands also perform a full Black Powder cannon and small arms demonstration, showing audiences the main weapons that pirates used to become the best known pre-emptive marine salvage experts in the world. The Brigands demonstrate flintlock pistols, muskets and of course, our Beloved Cannons!

Some Quotes About The Brigands

“Their newest CD is a masterpiece of their music, style, humor and piratical-ness. The instrumentals are authentic and spellbinding. The melodies are THAT strong. The voices of Cap’t Thighbiter, Bloody Bill Marley and Butch Cannon blend together in practiced precision…. The Juice of the Barley is a wonderful, funny vocal.”
